Syndicate Uplink

To help them achieve their objectives, some antagonists including traitors and nuclear operatives have access to an uplink from which they can purchase all sorts of illegal goodies from The Syndicate. For traitors, the uplink is accessible through their PDA. Some items are only available when playing certain jobs.

Strategy

• Buying from the uplink makes a "cha-ching" sound. Contrary to belief, this sound is not audible to nearby players.
• Since traitors only start with 20 TC, they must neutralize collaborate with other agents in order to purchase high-value uplink items, or must be wise with their budget.
• Purchase what you need only when you need it. Security can search you and certainly find a weapon or grenade your bag.
• Keep your PDA locked when you don’t need it. You can unlock it by setting the ringtone to the code you are assigned when you first roll traitor.

Uplink Catalog

Weapons

Image	Name	Description	Cost (TC)	NukeOps
	Surplus Rifle	A weapon of a bygone era. A huge bolt action rifle with medicore damage and low fire rate. The weapon has a 10 round internal magazine. Its biggest upside is the cost. Fires .30 rifle ammo	1	Yes
	Energy Dagger	A pen, that upon activation, turns into an energy dagger. The energy dagger makes less noise and does less damage than a full energy sword, however, it's easier to conceal and it is much cheaper.	2	Yes
	Viper	A small, easily concealable, automatic pistol chambered in .35 auto. Retrofitted with a fully automatic receiver. Use pistol magazines.	3	Yes
	Cobra	A rugged, robust operator handgun with an inbuilt silencer. Chambered in .25 caseless, this weapon leaves no trace. Uses pistol magazines. The impact of the bullets is louder then the gun itself.	4	Yes
	Python	A loud and deadly revolver. Uses .45 Magnum, and comes loaded with AP ammo. Has an internal cylinder magazine, and must be unloaded before reloading. AP bullets ignore all damage resistance of armor.	8	Yes
	Energy Sword	A concealable and dangerous plasma sword. Can stored and easily concealed when turned off. Has a decent chance to reflect lasers and bullets. Igniting the sword makes a loud, unmistakable sound.	8	Yes
	Gloves of the North Star	A pair of blue gloves that drastically increases your punching speed. Deals brute damage.	8	Yes
	Disposable Ballistic Turret	A yellow toolbox that, when struck, deploys into a sentry turret that targets anyone that is not apart of the syndicate. The turret fires .35 auto at slow pace.	8	No

Explosives

Image	Name	Description	Cost (TC)	NukeOps
	Flashbang	A flashbang. Temporarily blinds people without proper eye protection and drastically reduces their speed for a moderate duration. Impressive area of effect.	1	Yes
	EMP Grenade	A throwable grenade with a nonlethal effect. The explosion instantly drains all batteries and device charges within the area of effect. People caught within the explosion are not able to use their earpiece for a short duration. Moderate effect range.	2	Yes

	Whitehole Grenade	A grenade that repels everything not bolted down away from the center of the "explosion".

Starts unanchored when purchased, but bolts upon being armed. Makes a dreaded beeping noise as the timer goes down.	11	Yes
